Yes I think so. Here's one solution that's a bit convoluted but works: 1. You set up a screen session local to your own machine, reachable by JJ. 2. JJ runs this command (could be in the form a script) to ssh to your machine: ssh -R 2222:someinternalserver:22 -l supportusername yoursupporthost screen -x 3. You use the tunnel to ssh back to his machine, and he can type the password for you. 4. Assist in setup This is a bit convoluted though, and may not be appropriate for JJ. For my purposes it would be fine, although maybe a bit slow (extra latency with 2 round-trips for every keystroke). Maybe I can modify kibitz to do what I want. Some kind of SSL-protected port. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
